Trafika Europe 7 - Ukrainian Prayer

Sofia Andrukhovych Felix Austria (Novel Excerpt)

Thorn makes a nervous step forward, touches her neck with his hands, recoils. The silk shroud flies up like a sinister bird. The curtains creak and start slowly closing. The public manages to see Thorn taking off his top hat, pulling off his gloves and throwing them to the ground. Lonely uncertain clapping can be heard in the hall.
